Cannondale Habit Carbon 2

Cannondale Habit Carbon 2 Overview

The Cannondale Habit Carbon 2 is a full-suspension trail mountain bike built with a full carbon frame, 130mm rear travel, and a 140mm RockShox Pike Select fork. It is made for trail riding fun, with a carbon Habit frame, RockShox suspension, Shimano XT/SLX 12-speed drivetrain, Shimano Deore 4-piston braking, and a Cannondale DownLow dropper post.

The frame uses Proportional Response Suspension and Geo, a 55mm chainline, ISCG05 mount, BSA threaded bottom bracket, post mount brake standard, tapered headtube, DirectLine internal cable routing, and a UDH hanger. Suspension is handled by a RockShox Pike Select fork with DebonAir and a RockShox Deluxe Select+ rear shock with DebonAir, 2-position mode adjust, and adjustable rebound.

For shifting, the bike combines a Shimano XT rear derailleur with Shimano SLX 12-speed shifter, chain, and 10-51 cassette. Shimano Deore 6120 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes pair with 180/180mm RT64 centerlock rotors. The wheel system includes Stan’s NoTubes Crest Arch MK4 tubeless-ready rims, DT Swiss Champion spokes, Formula front hub, Shimano TC500 rear hub, a Maxxis Dissector front tire, and a Maxxis Rekon rear tire. A Cannondale alloy cockpit, Cannondale Scoop Shallow Sport saddle, and internally routed DownLow dropper post complete the build.
